Entry closes 31st March 2014 - Submit your nominations now.
Data-driven Marketer
Analyse, model, optimise. It doesn’t matter which channels are used or the data that's applied, if this is the
approach then this is the right category for you, your client's or your team's marketing builds its propositions,
media choices and targets based on insight and loops metrics back into the planning cycle. All you have to plan
for now is helping them pick up their award!
Integrated Data Planning Team (Client and Agency)
Really great use of data demands teamwork; the uniquely deep understanding of the business provided by a
client & the breadth of knowledge, techniques and data skill possessed by an agency. Bring the two together into
one effective team with the right chemistry and there is one result - a winning entry.
Data-driven Media Planner
Media plans are changing as the use of data grows. In some cases, such as programmatic buying, they are
becoming almost entirely data-driven. Which makes the strategic skills and analytical abilities of the media
planner or media planning team all the more important when deciding which publishers and platforms to buy
from.
Data Governance Team of the Year
Data governance is all about team work - cross-functional committees that ensure the data asset is managed,
protected and used in a compliant, yet enabling way within every business function. If you and your colleagues,
or your client's team, have made a real difference to the data governance culture iof the organisation over the last
year, this is your category.
Data-driven Direct Mail Advertiser
Physical communications have tremendous impact, especially if they are tightly targeted and/or personalised. If
you have brought the power of data and analytics to bear on inserts and mail (targeted or unaddressed), this
award could have your name all over it.
Customer Champion
Customer relationships are critical to profitability. Managing them involves a blend of people, process and
technology and also requires an individual willing to champion the cause of the customer and argue for what is
the right next best action or offer. Have you or your team done this? Then congratulations - come and get your
award.
Marketing Technologist
Marketing processes and automation are complex engines to build and keep working. Successful programmes
have an individual at their heart who understands the connections, can keep on top of the IT challenges, yet also
maintain a clear business focus. If that sounds like you, this is your category.
Data Professional
Data has many faces - from managing the data asset to dealing with privacy issues, from maintaining data quality
to building up sustainable data sources. All of these activities have two things in common - they ensured the
business had the data it needed and they had you at their heart.
Data Scientist
From deep diving into unstructured data to finding an appropriate model to explain data patterns, the data
scientist is on a voyage of discovery to find actionable and valuable insights in an ocean of information. Been
there, done that? Get this.
B2B Marketing Leader
Effective use of data and analytics in the business-to-business sphere is made more complicated by the multiple
influencers and decisions makers, together with the growing consumerisation of buyer behaviour. To win this
award, you need to show how you have transformed your organisation’s marketing by combining the best data,
analytics and technology out there into a powerful demand generation and customer management engine.
“Data is the New Creative”
There are many ways to apply data and insight across a business. This category is looking for examples of
“thinking outside the box” based on what the data resource has to say. It’s for the bold and the brilliant. It’s for
you, your team or your Client's team.
“SoLoMo” Marketer or Marketing Team
Smartphones have transformed consumer behaviour, making social, local and mobile marketing the key way to
interact with individuals. Using the rich information resources available, this award will go to an individual or team
who has shown a dynamic connection with the target market.
Multi-channel Marketing Team of the Year
Specialists are everywhere in marketing, yet customers and prospects operate in multiple channels. Ensuring
marketing provides a consistent, coherent and effective message across all of them needs teamwork (and a
shedload of data, analytics and teamwork). If your team got together to define and conquer this multi-channel
world, get ready for a group hug.
New Talent Award
A new generation of analysts, data managers, modellers and statisticians is vital to keep the data industry up and
running. To encourage those who have chosen to join this rapidly expanding profession, this category is for a
uniquely talented individual whose arrival has transformed or significantly benefitted the organisation.
The Professor Derek Holder Lifetime Achievement Award
The industry didn’t get where it is without somebody willing to do the hard yards that have established data,
governance, intelligence and analytics as the critical business resources they now are. This category will
recognise one of these pioneers.
Remember you can enter yourself, someone else from your own organisation or your client's.
